I am looking for a 200-250cc bike within a budget of Rs 1-1.5 lakh. I will use the bike mainly for daily office commuting of around 20km and occasional long rides.

AAA We recommend that you go for the Yamaha FZ25. It should fulfil all your criteria – it falls within your budget, has a 250cc engine, easy to ride in the city, and has enough juice to keep your highway runs entertaining. Of course, you also have the option of the non-ABS variant of the Bajaj Dominar 400 in that price range. You should take a test ride of both these bikes and see which one suits your riding style better.
